The requested module 'node:util' does not provide an export named 'styleText'

[mirite]

Describe the Bug

Attempting to use a version of Node.js prior to v20.12.0 (when styleText was added) fails despite the package indicating that Node 18 or greater is supported.

node_modules/react-email/dist/index.js:20
import { styleText } from "node:util";
         ^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: The requested module 'node:util' does not provide an export named 'styleText'

Which package is affected (leave empty if unsure)

react-email

Link to the code that reproduces this issue

https://github.com/mirite/react-email-error-reproduction

To Reproduce

nvm install v18.20.0 # Or any below when styleText was added in v20.12.0
npx react-email dev

Expected Behavior

Runs the initial react-email dev.

What's your node version? (if relevant)

v18.20.0

As Node 18 is already on EoL and Node 20 is currently under Maintenance LTS, I'd say that we can safely require v22 of Node to be used with the package, as it is the current LTS. WDYT @gabrielmfern?

This breaks bun as well... maybe premature. What version do i have to downgrade to for this to work again?

[SupremeTechnopriest]

@emiliosheinz Maybe you can implement feature detection? Use styleText if its available and use the old method if not?

[emiliosheinz]

@SupremeTechnopriest sounds like a plan.

[SupremeTechnopriest]

You rock! thank you!

[emiliosheinz]

Actually, I don't think it would be that easy. Sorry 😔

Now looking closer to it, I see that styleText replaced chalk, which is an external dependency, and I'm not sure if the Resend team wants to introduce that dependency again.

As styleText is only used for cosmetics, I assume we can simply render the text with no styles when it is not available. Let me know what you think: #2606

[emiliosheinz]

Please, check this comment, install the version with the fix, and let me know if it fixes your issue :)

[SupremeTechnopriest]

Ah yes... I wouldn't want to re introduce chalk either... Server starts up, but in bun 1.2.22 I get:

same on bun 1.3.1

[SupremeTechnopriest]

the preview server pr install 404d, it installed 5.0.0-canary.1 when i ran email dev not sure if thats related.

[SupremeTechnopriest]

hmm think its related to the tailwind package...
